Hi Debra!

So nice to hear that you are serving those who have a similar situation as yourself.  We call that concept "wounded healers" .  We try to help those where we have been touched.  My uncle and now my dear cousin have dealt with Parkinson's and I can see how beneficial Yoga can be for building core strength to help with balance and locomotion.  

I am SUPER happy to hear you are sharing Chair Yoga Dances with your community.  Those little sprinkles of fun and joy are so needed in this crazy world today!  Keep on doing what you are doing!  

Much love to you and those you serve!

Hi Marjorie!  

I never meant to have fans, so it's a foreign feeling for sure.  I knew when I put that camera in the back of one of Chair Yoga classes many years ago that this work would touch more people.  I am honored to see how much it has helped so many. 

Being with my parents is very special.  I don't think I can get them to participate in a Chair Yoga class, however.  They are very private people and barely know what I do! in my "work" life!    

Thanks for your kind words for support!  Sending you a big hug to the East Coast where I know it must be so beautiful now with the Fall colors!

Love,

Sherry

Thanks for your kind words Linda!  We have been fellow teachers together for a long time and I treasure our mutual love for Yoga and teaching!!!  Yes, I am enjoying the simple things in life just being with my parents and siblings in my hometown.  Life is slower here and it feels good.  Sending you lots of love and blessings!

Love

Thanks Vicky!  Glad to be sharing Yoga with you! And yes, every day with my parents is a special day.  Today I'll help my mom cook a big meal for my dad and brothers!  Enjoy your day!

Hi Barbara!  I am smiling knowing that your sons are there to support you!  There is nothing like family because we know each other so well and love each other so much.  YAY for your family!

I'm glad you enjoy my classes because I enjoy sharing them.  Life is always changing and evolving and we all do the best we can to adapt to what situations arise.  I know my priorities and it feels good.  A daily Yoga practice helps keep things in perspective and allows us to enjoy ourselves in fun and healthy ways!  Sending you lots of love and blessings from the Midwest!

Love,

Sherry

Glad you're in!! It will be a wonderful experience!!

Glad you enjoyed the Queen song and the sentiment of the dancing class🥰

Hi Gail!  Thanks for your inquiry. As you may know, a hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of your stomach bulges through the large muscle separating your abdomen & chest (diaphragm). If the hernia is not too severe and your doctor did not recommend surgery, it is possible it can heal with exercises and stretches that can strengthen the diaphragm.  These exercises can potentially even relieve some symptoms. 

I suggest you look through our Better Breathing Playlist to find some gentle breathing exercises that will help you learn how to engage your diaphragm.   https://watch.yogavista.tv/programs/wellness-practices-for-better-breathing

This is a great educational video that will help you to understand and visualize how your diaphragm works so that when you do the breathing exercises, you can envision the movement. https://watch.yogavista.tv/programs/sherry-justine-the-diaphragm-and-our-breathing

Sending you prayers for healing!

Blessings,

Sherry Zak Morris, Certified Yoga Therapist
